African Union

After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers resisted British encroachments, but were defeated in the Boer War (1899-1902). The resulting Union of South Africa operated under a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races. The 1990s brought an end to apartheid politically and ushered in black majority rule.In August 2002 Lesotho,in September 2002 Swaziland and Botsuana were integrated into the South African Union.October 2002 saw the integration of Namibia into the Union,November the one of Zimbabwe.In December two nations long-shattered by civil war,Mozambique and Angola,joined the Union.In the first days of 2003 Zambia and Malawi were freed from oppression by South African troops.In February after hard battles with severe casualties DRC and Tanzania became members of the Union,in March the Republic of Congo,in April Rwanda,in May Uganda,in June Burundi,in July Gabon,in August the Central African Republic.

Excerpt from the Capetown Times from August 31st 2002:

"As the country is today celebrating the 1st month of President Jakob Vandermuehls term this newspaper has decided to sum up the life and work of our glorious President:Born in 1953 as son of a high school teacher and a banker,he 1972 joined the ruling National Party;but disgusted by the Apartheid he left and joined as one of very few whites the African National Congress in 1975.He soon became one of the leading foreign experts of the ANC and was present when Nelson Mandela was freed in 1990.In 1997 he became assistant foreign secretary.When Thabo Mbeki died due to a heart attack in February he became candidate of the ANC and was elected with a 57% majority on August 1st.In the first 4 weeks in office he created the African-American alliance,made a DPP with the United Arab Emirates,passed bills supporting the blacks in the former homelands and began a major infrastructure program.As he feels as an African and knows only united Africa will be strong he recently ordered the 1st Mechanized division to overthrow the despotic Lesotho King and install a modern South African protector."

Excerpt from the Capetown Times from September 30th 2002:
As today marks the second monthly remember day of the office oath by President Vandermuehl we will sum up the events inside and outside of our glorious country in his term so far:The first month was mostly coined by interior events:the begin of construction of the 3 Oranje reactors,a major road building program,the equality bills and the enlargement of the Kruger National Park.But it also saw diplomatic agreements with the UAE and the USA and of course the integration of Lesotho as our 10th province.
With the economy growing by 4.6% the government could concentrate on uniting more people in the South African democracy.The September 2002 was impressed by the integrations of Swaziland as 11th and whole of Botsuana with 4 new provinces.The following months military will recover and hold down resistance by parts of the fled corrupt Botsuanan and Swazi governments,but due to the many volunteers joining the army we'll be able to free even more countries from their corrupt,despotic regimes.

Kennelly, you may want to note that the game is real time, one real life day = one game day.

Nations integrated into the Union of South Africa :



Basutoland was renamed the Kingdom of Lesotho upon independence from the UK in 1966. Constitutional government was restored in 1993 after 23 years of military rule.

Population: 2,177,062




Formerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name upon independence in 1966. The economy, one of the most robust on the continent, is dominated by diamond mining.

Population: 1,586,119




Autonomy for the Swazis of southern Africa was guaranteed by the British in the late 19th century; independence was granted 1968. Student and labor unrest during the 1990s have pressured the monarchy (one of the oldest on the continent) to grudgingly allow political reform and greater democracy.

Capetwon Times November 30th:

The past 2 months again shaped not only Africa,but the world.Here in Africa two dictators,Sam Nujoma in Namibia and Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe were overthrown and their long-oppressed nations joined our Union.November also saw the first time combat use of the SAF.
But other continents were changed much more deeply.In Latin America the three emerging giants Mexico,Argentina and Brazil invaded over half a dozen nations and are now ready to counter US might and possibly to introduce a 'Fox' or 'Menem' doctrine in the Americas.The new Soviet Union becomes more powerful with every day and the 2 biggest countries in the world,India and China are divding all of South East Asia with a closely watching Australian republic outside their doorstep.The UAE-Turkish alliance is worrying Syria as well as Israel as both alliance partners this month invaded Jordan and Azerbaijan while Syria is stagnating.
But ATO remains strong and this writer is convinced democracy will win in the long run against dictatorial regimes like China or Russia.



South Africa occupied the German colony of Sud-West Afrika during World War I and administered it as a mandate until after World War II when it annexed the territory. In 1966 the Marxist South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) guerrilla group launched a war of independence for the area that was soon named Namibia, but it was not until 1988 that South Africa agreed to end its administration in accordance with a UN peace plan for the entire region. Independence came in 1990.

Population: 1,797,677



The UK annexed Southern Rhodesia from the South Africa Company in 1923. A 1961 constitution was formulated to keep whites in power. In 1965 the government unilaterally declared its independence, but the UK did not recognize the act and demanded voting rights for the black African majority in the country (then called Rhodesia). UN sanctions and a guerrilla uprising finally led to free elections in 1979 and independence (as Zimbabwe) in 1980. Robert MUGABE, the nation's first prime minister, has been the country's only ruler (as president since 1987) and has dominated the country's political system since independence

Population: 11,365,366



Almost five centuries as a Portuguese colony came to a close with independence in 1975. Large-scale emigration by whites, economic dependence on South Africa, a severe drought, and a prolonged civil war hindered the country's development. The ruling party formally abandoned Marxism in 1989, and a new constitution the following year provided for multiparty elections and a free market economy. A UN-negotiated peace agreement with rebel forces ended the fighting in 1992.

Population: 19,371,057



Civil war has been the norm in Angola since independence from Portugal in 1975. A 1994 peace accord between the government and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) provided for the integration of former UNITA insurgents into the government and armed forces. A national unity government was installed in April of 1997, but serious fighting resumed in late 1998, rendering hundreds of thousands of people homeless. Up to 1.5 million lives may have been lost in fighting over the past quarter century.

Population: 10,366,031

New members of the Union of South Africa:



Established in 1891, the British protectorate of Nyasaland became the independent nation of Malawi in 1964. After three decades of one-party rule, the country held multiparty elections in 1994 under a provisional constitution, which took full effect the following year. National multiparty elections were held again in 1999.

Population: 10,548,250



The territory of Northern Rhodesia was administered by the South Africa Company from 1891 until takeover by the UK in 1923. During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. The name was changed to Zambia upon independence in 1964. In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices and a prolonged drought hurt the economy. Elections in 1991 brought an end to one-party rule, but the subsequent vote in 1996 saw blatant harassment of opposition parties.

Population: 9,770,199

Capetown times 29th February 2003.

"As dictators all over Africa now know democracy is spread by South African forces they buy more and more weapons,hire mercenaries and make their own children to soldiers.Our democratic armies did not expect the rulers of Zaire and Tanzania to be so scrupulous and spend money needed for food for weapons.
When our soldiers approached Kinshasa,the DRC Defence Force swore to protect their greed to the last man.The fighting was bitter and bloody, but eventually our troops gained the upper hand, and drove the Congo troops from the field.30,000 of our brave soldiers from all provinces died.
Tanzanian forces withdraw to the capital, chased by our army.
Our brave troops,not expecting fierce resistance by the oppressed people assaulted their defences immediately.
The urban fighting however prevented the 2nd CAS Squadron operating effeciently, and it was shot down by SAMs.
The infantry scaled the walls to secure them as the tanks bashed
down the gates, followed in by the mechanised infantry.
The first armour division was led into a trap inside the city, and overwhelmed. The mechanised infantry struggled through the city, to find the locals carring anti-tank weapons, equipped by their tyrannic regime and filled with false propaganda.The cost is horrendous, but eventually our army won, with the second armour division being rescued by the infantry that scaled the walls, who survived and some people in our broad country
now call the "elite" of the South African army, excellent city fighters.
Because of these recent integrations of Central African nations,from tomorrow on,our great country will no longer be just the Union of South Africa,but the African Union."

(Sorry uk,I took your combat report and changed it a bit to sound more patriotic )
